The Nuka-Cola lunchbox is a miscellaneous item in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Characteristics[]

A metal lunchbox featuring the Nuka-Cola logo on one side and Nuka-Girl on the opposite side. Images of the various Nuka-Cola flavors line the sides of the lunchbox, including Nuka-Cola, Nuka-Cherry, and Nuka-Cola Quantum. Some Nuka-Cola lunchboxes have additional stickers of Bottle, Cappy, and/or a Nuka-World logo. Some lunchboxes also have rainbow stickers with the names "Simon" and "Ziggy" on their sides.

Like the Vault-Tec lunchbox, they will yield a random item when opened.

All Nuka-Cola lunchboxes found naturally in the worldspace, normal or rare, can be opened via simple interaction (on hover, they read "Open" instead of "Take"), have 100 Hit Points, and can be collected as a miscellaneous item after being opened as long as they did not receive 100 or more points of damage; if this happens, the lunchbox will break and become uncollectible.[1]

The collectible open lunchbox that is left behind is a separate miscellaneous item. Unlike Vault-Tec lunchboxes, the miscellaneous item Nuka-Cola lunchboxes are not destructible, meaning they will always remain collectible even if they are shot or hit by the player character. This also means that, unlike Vault-Tec lunchboxes, it is not possible to get two items from a "single" Nuka-Cola lunchbox.

Item pool[]

Nuka-Cola lunchboxes use the same loot drop list as rare Vault-Tec lunchboxes (i.e. ones with stickers). This means that internally, they carry three loot pools: the normal lunchbox loot pool, the rare lunchbox loot pool, and the Nuka-World junk item loot pool. The lunchbox will select one of these three pools with an equal probability (1/3) and then pick an item from within the selected pool (generally, each item has an equal probability of selection within the pool unless it appears twice in the pool, which simply doubles its drop rate).

The table below lists two drop rates for each item: one within the individual loot pool and one for the overall drop rate from the lunchbox.

Do not refer to the in-pool drop rate if you are looking for the drop rate of an item when opening a lunchbox.
